Mountain climates in different latitudes. 19th-century illustration of three mountains, as published in 1817 by German scientist Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) to show the influence of latitude and altitude on climate, vegetation, and land use. The mountains are (from left to right): Chimborazo, Andes (tropical), Mont Blanc, Alps (temperate) and Sultielma, Lapland (subarctic). This page is from Humboldt's 'De distributione geographica plantarum secundum cœli temperiem et altitudinem montium' (1817). | |
